Huh? It was a lie. You want confirmation that a lie is a lie? How does one prove that? You literally got this backwards—the onus would be on you to prove that there was pro-trans messaging on the bullet.
I would argue that news organizations that report about something that could incite more violence without knowing any details is not legitimate.
Edit: Downvote me all you want, but reporting on something that immediately sounded made up without asking any more questions or knowing any details is journalistic malpractice.
Would like more confirmation on this than a picture of a tweet saying so.

Also, fucking google it.
Settle down, Francis. I don’t believe something just because someone posted a picture of someone else’s tweet saying it. That’s how propaganda works.
This is someone making a claim, secondhand. People who make claims have the burden of proof. I am not making a claim.

And the claim isn’t true. That wasn’t a retraction.
Now apply that same logic to the original claim
I fucking did.

Did you?
The thread parent posted, as a quote from somewhere:
A responder replied:
Because that claim was not in the article posted.
I replied, what you’re linking to:
That it was being reported. At legitimate sources. Which it was. Being reported.

I downvoted you because you’re making it out like I was being disingenuous, which I clearly was not.
Someone just posted proof they didn’t retract it.
